Summary: Who Knows if he's Dashing, but Roadburg's Got The Secret
Review: Some of my book club members are getting close to retirement so we took a tangent from our usual fiction when this book was recommended to us.
Since everyone in the club is quite active, our main concern did not relate to financial advice, but rather what to do with ourselves when we retire (besides reading!). I have never before heard of a book on this subject providing an actual step-by-step process as this one did, and we actually had a great time going through the workshop together in Part 2. In fact, some of us are now considering retiring early since we have such clear plans.
The book was easy to read, clever and intelligent. It provided a refreshing approach to a potentially traumatic situation. It actually changed the way we all viewed retirement, and the twenty club members would highly recommend this to anyone facing retirement.

Summary: La, la, la, la ... Hey Jude by the Beatles
Review: Upbeat and positive is the tone of the book and the feeling the reader walks away with after reading "Re-tire with a dash" by Dr. Alan Roadburg.
In January of this year, I experienced a huge anxiety attack when I realized it was my last six months of teaching (after 31 years) and I would have to prepare a letter of resignation. A retired girlfriend (and former teacher), unable to console me, suggested this book.
Thank goodness! I carried it around like a bible, as a suppport for whenever I felt the anxiety overtaking me. I would hang on to phrases that would turn the negative thinking into positive thoughts: I've earned this!... I'm lucky to be retiring now,I'm one of the "Luckies"!, etc.
Dr. Roadburg's book, with its graphic syle and infusion of humour was easy to digest. I felt connected to the writer by his witty and memorable use of song titles (all my old favourites) to introduce each chapter. I am a habitual highlighter and appreciated the chapter summaries which vindicated my choice of select ideas and provide excellent points for quick review.
I will be submitting that all important letter of resignation this week and at the same time, I will be slipping into my new set of tires, ready to face the challenges of the road ahead, with a smile on my face! La, la, la,...
